[Intro]
This is for the homies facing life
And for the homies serving life
It's just another rainy day up in Seattle
Every day a constant battle
b**h, you gon get stepped on like a stone if you fragile
Clouds engulf the sky, such a beautiful sight
Walked home to a letter from my ex- he got life
And it's got me contemplating ‘bout how fast your life can be taken
Pull the trigger, no faking-
Boom! A rude awakening!
Now he's stuck in a cell
Where no one can hear you yell, or scream
Your dreams- now they don't mean anything
I've been crying non stop and its not because I miss him
I'm just sad, disappointed, and the rain it keeps pouring
But I gotta keep pushing cuz the days is never ending
If I ever said it's not hard being a thug- I was pretending
Cuz this lifestyle that we reppin- gotta be careful where you stepping
Don't come blessing through my section if you ain't packing a weapon
Cuz the streets is no joke, nah, this ain't no laughing matter-
Either your dreams get shattered or your brain get splattered !
[Chorus x2]
Welcome to the streets
Come inside my tragic kingdom
I'll show you what we've learned throughout the years- hella wisdom
Corrupted by revenge- I contributed to the cycle
Best friends with murderers, lifers, snipers and psychos
It's just another song about my struggles
Smoking, getting in trouble
Kicking up dust
Better back up when we bust!
Homie, trust, you ain't seen it-
Gangsters possessed by demons
Money, d**, power, and you best not come between it!
Trust me, I got my reasons for being tough every season
I'm competing with the enemies and I'm leading- best believe it!
Wanna be it till you see somebody murdered
Till your roll dog gets k**ed by someone you never heard of
And thats when its kicks in-
That craving is sickening
k** em or be k**ed by em- we still dying
They say “an eye for an eye,” “stay quiet,” “get up and fight,”
Either way, you toss and turning- trouble sleeping every night
Gotta lie to the pigs- that's the code of the streets
We got silencers to quiet her
b**h, don't speak!
Got my hood mentality and that's something I'll never trade!
Put it down for my neighborhood- I rep it everyday!
[Chorus x2]
Welcome to the streets
Come inside my tragic kingdom
I'll show you what we've learned throughout the years- hella wisdom
Corrupted by revenge- I contributed to the cycle
Best friends with murderers, lifers, snipers and psychos
